1 What Works in Drug & Alcohol Treatment: Three Steps to Improved Outcomes Scott D. Miller, Ph.D. & David Mee-Lee, M.D. Question #1: Research consistently shows that treatment works True Study after study, and studies of studies show the average treated client is better off than 80% of the untreated sample. 1

2 Tutorial on Effect Size Effect size of Aspirin Effect size of therapy Rosenthal, R. (June 1990). How are we doing in soft psychology? American Psychologist, 45(6), An Example More good news: Research shows that only 1 out of 10 clients on the average clinician s s caseload is not making any progress. Recent study: 6,000+ treatment providers 48,000 plus real clients Outcomes clinically equivalent to randomized, controlled, clinical trials. Kendall, P.C., Kipnis,, D, & Otto-Salaj Salaj,, L. (1992). When clients don t t progress. Cognitive Therapy and Research, 16,, Minami, T., Wampold, B., Serlin,, R. Hamilton, E., Brown, J., Kircher,, J. (in press). Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. The Good News The bottom line? The majority of helpers are effective and efficient most of the time. Average treated client accounts for only 7% of expenditures. So, what s s the problem 2

3 The Bad News Drop out rates average 47%; Therapists frequently fail to identify failing cases; 11 out of 10 clients accounts for 60-70% of expenditures. Lambert, M.J., Whipple, J., Hawkins, E., Vermeersch, D., Nielsen, S., & Smart, D. (2004). Is it time for clinicians routinely to track client outcome? A meta-analysis. Clinical Psychology, 10, Chasson, G. (2005). Attrition in child treatment. Psychotherapy Bulletin, 40(1), 4-7. Question #2: Research shows that some treatment approaches are more effective than others FALSE All approaches work equally well with some of the people some of the time. Do Treatments vary in Efficacy? The research says, NO! NO! The lack of difference cannot be attributed to: Research design; Time of measurement; Year of publication; The differences which have been found: Do not exceed what would be expected by chance; At most account for 1% of the variance. Rosenzweig, S. (1936). Some implicit common factors in diverse methods in psychotherapy. Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 6, Wampold, B.E. et al. (1997).

7 The Client s s Theory of Change: Empirical Findings In the Hester, Miller, Delaney, and Meyer study: A A difference in outcome was found between the two groups depending on whether the treatment fit with the client s s pre- treatment beliefs about their problem and/or the change process. When treatment of people diagnosed as schizophrenic was changed to accord their wishes and ideas: More engagement; Higher self-ratings; and Improved objective scores. Hester, R., Miller, W., Delaney, H., & Meyers, R. (1990). Effectiveness of the community reinforcement approach. Paper presented at the 24 th annual meeting of the AABT. San Francisco, CA.

Whose treatment is it anyway? The role of consumer preferences in mental healthcare. e. American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, 10(1), Question #4: Consumer ratings of the alliance are better predictors of outcome than clinician ratings. True Remember the Alamo! Remember Project MATCH Project MATCH and the Alliance The largest study ever conducted on the treatment of problem drinking: Three different treatment approaches studied (CBT, 12-step, and Motivational Interviewing). NO difference in outcome between approaches. The client s s rating of the therapeutic alliance the best predictor of: Treatment participation; Drinking behavior during treatment; Drinking at 12-month follow-up. Project MATCH Group (1997). Matching alcoholism treatment to client heterogeneity. Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 58,, Babor, T.F., & Del Boca, F.K. (eds.) (2003). Treatment matching in Alcoholism.

8 More Evidence: How Much is Enough? 38 cocaine-dependent methadone maintenance participants receiving an escalating schedule of voucher-based reinforcement for cocaine abstinence administered by research assistants. Urinalysis 3x/week during active stage of intervention and 2x/week ek during aftercare stage of intervention. Also receiving AODA counseling from substance abuse professionals. s. Participant ratings of working alliance with RAs administering CM were greater than the alliance ratings for counselors administering drug d counseling. Participant ratings of working alliance with RAs were positively related to drug abstinence, but ratings with counselors were not. L.A. Benishek, S.E. Shealy, B.J. Rosenwasser, M.L.E. Kerwin, K.L. Dugosh & K.C. Kirby (2006). Working Alliance with Research Assistants and with Counselors for Methadone Maintenance Patients Receiving Cocaine Abstinence Reinforcement. NIDA grant # R01-DA Question #5: The bulk of change in successful treatment occurs earlier rather than later. True If a particular approach, delivered in a given setting, by a specific provider is going to work, there should measurable improvement in the first six weeks of care. Project MATCH and Outcome Babor, T.F., & DelBoca,, F.K. (eds.) (2003). Treatment Matching in Alcoholism.. United Kingdom: Cambridge,

9 More Research on Outcome Cannabis Youth Treatment Project Approach Dose Question #6: Stigma, ignorance, denial, and lack of motivation are the most common reasons potential consumers do not seek the help they need. False Second to cost (81%), lack of confidence in the outcome of the service is the primary reason (78%). Fewer than 1 in 5 cite stigma as a concern. How do therapists compare? In a recent survey on how much consumers trusted various professionals. Therapists The consumer Psychotherapy in Australia (2001). Trust in therapists? 7(1),

11 Three Steps 1. Develop a highly individualized service delivery plan; 2. Formal, ongoing feedback from clients regarding the plan, process and outcome of treatment; 3. Integration of both plan and feedback into an innovative and flexible continuum of care that is maximally responsive to the individual client. Step One An individualized service delivery plan is basically written summary a a snapshot so to speak of the alliance between particular client and therapist at given point in time Miller, S.D., Mee-Lee, D., & Plum, W. (2005). Making treatment count. Psychotherapy in Australia, 10(4), 42-56, Client s Theory of Change Goals, Means or Meaning or Methods Purpose Client s s View of the Therapeutic Relationship Step One Structuring the Alliance with the ASAM MDA: 1. Acute intoxication/withdrawal potential; 2. Biomedical conditions/complications; 3. Emotional, behavioral, cognitive conditions/complications; 4. Readiness to change; 5. Relapse, continued use/problem potential; 6. Recovery environment. Minimizing Chaos Maximizing Flexibility 11

12 Step Two Formal Client Feedback: As any experienced clinician knows, therapy is a complex affair, full of nuance and uncertainty. In contrast to examples found in manuals and textbooks where the treatment, if done in the manner described, seems to flow logically and inexorably toward pre-determined outcome finding what works for a given client most often proceeds in trial and error fashion Step Two Traditionally, the disorder inherent in real world clinical practice has been managed by programming standardized packages or treatment tracks to which clients assigned and their progress assessed by degree of compliance and movement from one level to next. In contrast, client-directed, outcome-informed approach begins with experience and outcome the client desires and then works backwards to create means by which those will be achieved. Even then, client is in charge, helping to fine-tune or alter, continue or end treatment via ongoing feedback. Step Two The O.R.S The S.R.S Download free working copies at:

13 Step Two Cases in which therapists opted out of assessing the alliance at the end of a session: Two times more likely for the client to drop out; Three to four times more likely to have a negative or null outcome. Miller, S.D., Duncan, B.L., Sorrell, R., & Brown, G.S. (February,, 2005). The Partners for Change Outcome Management System. Journal of Clinical Psychology, 61(2), Step Two Baseline Outcome Feedback Miller, S.D., Duncan, B.L., Sorrell, R., Brown, G.S., & Chalk, M.B. M (2005). Using outcome to inform therapy practice. Journal of Brief Therapy, 5(1). 5 A Question of Focus DO B E L I E V E Technique Allegiance Alliance Outcome C a n Y o u R e l a t e? Is it W o r k i n g? 13

14 Step Three Integrating the plan and feedback into a flexible continuum of care: Treatment contains no fixed program content, length of stay, or levels of care. Instead, a continuum of possibilities is made available to client that includes everything from community resources, natural alliances with family and significant others, to formal treatment and care within healthcare institutions. Integrating Plan and Feedback into Flexible Continuum of Care (cont.) Literally, everything is, so to speak, on the table. The ASAM MDA provides the initial structure for partnering with client in the development of treatment. The Outcome and Alliance feedback determine whether, how, and when to continue, modify, or terminate contact. Step Three Outcome of treatment varies depending on: The unique qualities of the client; The unique qualities of the therapist; The unique qualities of the context in which the service is offered.
